Looks like it.
I like his work on the book. His Reed Richards is so wrong - way too muscle-y - but his style is so retro and fits perfectly on this book. I wasn't sure about him at first but I liked what he did on Justice Society, and that, combined with the change in trade dress, is just perfect on this book. It's like I'm reading 1970s Fantastic Four except the stories are good.

Hickman might be the first person to make me like the mainstream Fantastic Four. I think he will live up to his hype.

I think when everyone was comparing him to Alan Moore it must have been after they read his plot summaries for this and Secret Warriors. They sound epic.

I couldn't agree more, I've never had a huge interest in the FF before now.

Secret Warriors is even better. Hickman should have wrote Secret Invasion.

Hickman and Fraction are the best thing to happen to Marvel in years...
The Franklin birthday issue was perfect.

Agreed. I adored the Franklin birthday. I actually strained my eyes and read the tiny text when Future Franklin put Present Franklin to sleep. I love these self-contained stories. And Spidey hiding on Ben Grimm's back was priceless.
I'm also loving the letter page. Top comic.

I think it's a nice touch how Hickman is willing to use the letter page to answer criticisms about his work every once in a while.

It's nice to see the writer actually do the letter page at all
usually if you actually get a letter page it's either an editor or a temp pretending to be the title character

Mr. Fantastic should be named Dr. Fantastic. It's a better name.
That's all. Carry on.

Yeah...that's the only real drawback about collecting in trades. Most of the time I'm glad because most letters columns are terrible, corny, and a waste of space. But when they're good it would be nice to have them in the collected editions.

Re: Fantastic Four #570+ (Hickman/Eaglesham) Spoilers.
So, I'm reading the first Hickman trade and loving it.
Fantastic Four (the book) is at it's best when using mind-blowing scientific concepts but makes them secondary to the family - Hickman gets it. Not many writers do. I thought Millar had a good grasp on that too. Hickman gives us this amazing concept of dozens of Reeds from across the multiverse, each giving up their family life to "solve everything" and some of them sacrificing themselves in the process, but manages to make it all about Sue and her acceptance of Reed going off and not including the family.
I don't think he quite has Ben right (at least not as far as I am). Ben seems kind of emotionally weak - the part when he and Johnny were planning their trip and he had the line something like, "aw, you'd probably leave me for some girl the first chance you get." It was kind of mopey and doesn't jibe with the Ben that, say, Mark Waid wrote which was a lot stronger.
Still, this is so great.

Oh Lord. I remember in the 90s there was a story where Doom "killed" Reed and it was the Fantastic 3 for a while. It even had the word "Four" in the logo crossed out on the cover with a hastily scrawled "THREE" replacing it.
I believe it was Tom DeFalco, too. Just to show how retardedly stupid the story was. ZOMG WROST WRITER EVAR
Which is not to say I'd expect the story to be as bad as anything Tom DeFalco wrote just because the subject seems similar. It just evoked some bad memories.
Ominous.
